Realizing the danger, Zhang Xiaopu instinctively covered the dry food bag with one hand and the handle of the hunting knife with the other, staring at the group in the southwest direction, his breathing couldn't help but become short, and he was very nervous, as if the group would be killed in the next moment.

"What if they come and rob him?" Zhang Xiaopu asked himself.

"They are twice as large as us, and if we fight, we have no chance of winning. ”

"We can give up some of the dry food and shake hands with them. ”

"No, if that's the case, the people in the other villages will think that we are weak and easy to bully, and they will all come and rob us of our dry food. ”

"If someone comes to rob it, there is only one battle!"

Zhang Xiaopaw swallowed his saliva, only to feel that his mouth was dry, and his right hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably. He was afraid, because he found that if there was a real fight, he would not dare to cut the knife in his hand on people, it would be too terrifying.

"Pawn-pawn—why are you stunned? Why, there is someone you know over there?" Niu Dawa called Zhang Xiaopaw twice, and found that Zhang Xiaopaw was staring at a group of people not far away, so he pushed him.

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaopaw didn't react for a while.

"Ahh Niu Dawa glared at Zhang Xiaopaw angrily, and saw that Zhang Xiaopaw looked confused, as if he had just woken up, and he didn't know what to do at all, so he grabbed his arm and dragged Zhang Xiaopaw in one direction, and said at the same time: "After discussing with Uncle Li, my family decided to distribute some dry food to the people of Zhangjia Village, and we will go into the Black Forest together." We are only thirty people, which is indeed too few, and with the people of Zhangjia Village, even if we encounter a big guy like a tiger and a black blind man, we can do it. Hey, I said that you kid hurry up and cheer up, but you can't be underestimated by those just adult boys in Zhangjia Village. ”

Listening to Niu Dawa's words, Zhang Xiaopaw made up for what happened when he was distracted just now, looked up, and found that Niu Yao and others had arrived at Zhangjia Village, and seemed to have said the plan to partner up, only to see the faces of the villagers in Zhangjia Village were sad, and they were all happy.

The people of the two villages combined, one hundred and twenty people, suddenly became the largest team in front of Taniguchi.

Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he found that the thing he was worried about just now was solved so easily. In this way, it not only won over the people of Zhangjia Village, but also strengthened the strength of the team, and protected itself from being bullied, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

"The elders really have great wisdom!" Zhang Xiaopaw admired Niu Yao and Li Dashan very much in his heart, and felt that he had too many things to learn.

The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person became relaxed. Quietly rubbed the sweat of his palms on his pants, afraid of being laughed at after Niu Dawa knew. But after thinking about it, he asked what he was worried about just now, and he wanted to know what Li Dawa would do.

Niu Dawa walked in front, and when she heard Zhang Xiaopaw's question, she opened her mouth and replied: "Food is life these days, if someone robs our food, it will be no different from killing us, and we will fight to the death." ”

"Do you dare to slash the hunting knife in your hand at a big living person?" Zhang Xiaopaw asked again.

Niu Dawa stopped suddenly, looked down at the ground, and was silent for a while before sighing faintly: "I didn't dare, but I must dare, otherwise the old and young masters of Liujia Village will all starve to death." Maybe dare or not, this is the difference between adults and children. The responsibilities and responsibilities of adults are really heavier, and the sudden addition of the body makes people a little breathless. ”

Zhang Xiaopaw looked at Niu Dawa's back, his expression was stunned, he never thought that Niu Dawa could say such philosophical words, is this still the stupid big man he knows?

"The wind is sluggish, the rain is swaying, and you look up, and your chest is straight, and you don't look back. Go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and sing a song to make wine and food. And don't be afraid, and move forward, I am crazy with my sword, I am not afraid of God or demons-" Niu Dawa hummed and strode forward.

Infected by Niu Dawa's sonorous and powerful tone, Zhang Xiaopaw only felt that his blood was surging, holding the handle of the knife, steady and powerful, without a trace of trembling, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, and said in his heart: "Come on, it belongs to me and the responsibility, even if it is a thousand catties, I am not afraid." ”

The next step of the foot seems to be taller, as if he has shed the immature shackles before the age of sixteen, and has really grown up.

When Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaopu rushed back to the main army, the leaders of the two villages had already discussed the plan, preparing to gather everyone's dry food together, and then select the worst to hand in, and the rest would be divided evenly according to the head.

The people in Zhangjia Village were a little twisted and blushing, because they felt that they had taken advantage of the people of Liujia Village. And when the people of the two villages took out the food they carried in turn, the people of Zhangjia Village became more and more ashamed, and even a little embarrassed, because they brought some hard cakes and hard buns that were difficult to swallow, and even some of them were moldy, while the dried things brought by the people of Liujia Village were fragrant when they were taken out, and they knew at a glance that they had just been made.

"Everything in Zhangjia Village is for Lao Tzu to listen to. Zhang Daqiang, the leader of Zhangjia Village, suddenly shouted to the people in his village, "How much advantage we have taken advantage of, everyone must have counted it in their hearts, Lao Tzu doesn't know what kind of mood you are in now, anyway, Lao Tzu is ashamed to find a mouse hole to get into." There is no reason to take advantage of it in vain when you go all over the world, and we can't lose anything, so I decided that the prey caught in the Black Forest is four or six points, and the four of us, the six brothers of Liujia Village, if you don't agree, immediately take your things and get out. ”

The old and young masters of Zhangjia Village are also honest people, and they all say that they have taken advantage of the brothers and bosses of Liujia Village, and they all agree with Zhang Daqiang's decision.

"Brothers, see the outside, see the outside. Niu Yao waved his hand again and again, and said: "Our two villages are only a few miles apart, we know each other, and we know that all the brothers are honest people, so I came to partner with you." There are many adults in your village, but there are few villains in our village, so four or six points is really inappropriate. In my opinion, it is better to be like this, if the harvest is very rich, then four or six points, but we are four and you six, if the harvest is average, we will be five or five points, anyway, it is a goal, let's work together to survive this disaster year. If you feel that you owe us Liujia Village, then wait until you survive the disaster year to pay it back. Let's talk about it first, we won't push it anymore when the time comes, and we'll take as much as you want. Haha-"

"Good brother, the people of Zhangjia Village have written down this love, and he will have a good reward in the future. Zhang Daqiang patted Niu Yao on the shoulder, he didn't pretend anymore, because what Niu Yao said was the truth.

"Don't be stunned, all the dry food put down will go outside to fence it to prevent anyone from grabbing it. I just took a cursory look and noticed that there are a lot of faces I don't recognize. As the old saying goes, you can't have the heart of a thief, and you can't have the heart of a thief. Niu Yao commanded.

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but get nervous. Nowadays, every bite of food is related to the lives of the whole village, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa hurriedly put down the dry food and got out of the crowd, stood on the outermost periphery, and looked around vigilantly, feeling that everyone looked like robbers.

"Hey, baby, pawn, you two are here too!" A thin black boy suddenly burst out from behind, grabbed Zhang Xiaopaw's neck with one hand, and Niu Dawa's neck with the other, and greeted the two of them happily.

"I knew the two of them were coming. ”

"It's lively. ”

There are a few older boys behind the black thin boy, and they are very happy to see Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa.

Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa were startled by the black thin boy, and when they looked back, they immediately grinned. I couldn't help but punch the black thin boy in the chest, and scolded with a smile: "Holy shit, where did you guys go just now? We didn't see your shadow when we turned around, and I thought you didn't come." ”

These boys are all from Zhangjia Village, and they are the same age as Zhang Xiaopu, and they just held a coming-of-age ceremony this year. On weekdays, they often play together, go down to the river to touch the fish, go to the trees to pick up birds, and they are very cooked.

"It's a shame that you're here today, and you're missing a good show. The thin black boy shook his head and said regretfully. His name is Zhang Dezhuang, homonym with "grow strong", he Lao Tzu expects him to look strong and mighty, but this kid seems to have been sent down from heaven to deliberately work against his Lao Tzu, from childhood to big chicken, duck and fish meat has not eaten less, but he does not grow fat just by eating, black and thin, and almost did not make him angry. Because of this, his nickname of "Thin Monkey" can be said to be resounding for several miles.

When Niu Dawa heard that there was a good show, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she urged: "What's the show? ”

"Tut, you two didn't see it, yesterday's scene, that battle, it was just earth-shattering!" The thin monkey was surprised, shook his head and waved his hands, pretending to make a gesture to whet the appetite of the two pawns.

"Get out of the way!" Niu Dawa is not a good-tempered person, she slapped the thin monkey and mouthed the other person Nunu, and said, "Champion, you can talk about it." ”

The boy named by Niu Dawa is named Zhang Chutian, and he is nicknamed "Zhuangyuan", because he has studied in a small private school in the county for a year and a half, and can read more than 200 words, which is the most learned among people of the same age, so he got this nickname.

Liu and Zhang'er villages, for generations, have been digging in the field, and the poor people in the ravines and ravines have never seen the world, and they envy and admire the scholars who do learning, but if they are asked to pay for the children in the family not to do farm work, but to study in private schools, they will not do it if they are killed. And the kid who grew up in the ravine, he has been used to it since he was a child, how can he bear to chew words. Therefore, the people of the two villages have been illiterate for generations, and they can write their names.

Zhang Xiaopaw has always admired Zhang Chutian very much, because he was beaten by the old village chief with a willow stick for a whole year, and he suffered a lot before he could recognize one hundred and eight words, and Zhang Chutian can read more than two hundred words, which is really amazing.

Zhang Chutian also enjoys the nickname "Champion" on weekdays, and from time to time two sentences will pop up in his mouth, and he is also very careful about dressing. Take this time as an example, he and Zhang Xiaopaw and others are all dressed in coarse linen clothes, due to the hot weather, Zhang Xiaopaw and others have unbuttoned two or three buttons, spread out their chests, their hair is messy, and they are tied with a hemp rope at the back of their heads, and he is different, the clothes on his body are flat and neat, not even a strand of folds can be found, and his hair is smooth and smooth.

"Ahem-" The champion covered his mouth with his hand, coughed twice, cleared his throat, grabbed with his right hand, as if grabbing a piece of startling wood, slapped it in front of him, and said "pop" on his mouth, and then raised his eyebrows and stared, very like a storyteller in a tavern.

On weekdays, the big guy likes to listen to this guy pretend to tell stories, and it doesn't matter if he's hearsay or nonsense, anyway, he just likes it, and he thinks it has a special taste.

I only heard the champion Qingyin shouting: "It is said that at three o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, more than ten village people gathered here, wanting to cross the valley into the Black Forest to hunt, but the valley mouth was stopped by the big family of the county, and each person needed to hand over five catties of rations before they could enter the valley, and they had to hand over half of the prey when they left the valley." The people were stopped at the mouth of the valley, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. The two sides were at a stalemate for several hours, and finally three villages broke out and tried to break into the valley. Nearly 200 people from three villages, armed with hunting knives and steel forks, broke out, and as a result, five people from the big family were killed in a moment, throwing away their armor and wailing all over the field. The battle ended almost as soon as it began, seven of the three villagers were killed, the rest were all wounded, and none of them retreated, while the five members of the big family were just a little dirty on their clothes, and they flicked their hands as if they had just played a game. ”

"Dog-shit!" Niu Dawa jumped up with a star, and shouted in disbelief: "Really fake, five to two hundred, and the fucking win?! Not to mention the win, it's easy to win the fuck?"

Zhang Xiaopaw is also unbelievable. Although he had already speculated that the strength of several major families was very strong, otherwise he would not dare to commit public anger and block the valley mouth to collect tolls, but he never imagined that it would be so ridiculously strong, five people fighting two hundred people, and still easily win, could it be the five gods of war?
